STRIKE!


Hi friends, it's me Jizz Denouement. Ever since I left for college way back when, I have never bought a new mattress. Pretty much whenever I moved, if it was too far to move my poo poo, I would buy that persons' bed and just live with that. As such, I've lived with pretty lovely beds for many moons. My go-to solution was to buy foam toppers and they generally did the trick well enough. However my current mattress is just too hosed up and small, so it's time to upgrade. Help me buy a good queen sized bed!



Question 1: What the gently caress is the actual difference in sleep quality between:
Poly Foam
Memory Foam
Latex/Foam Hybrid
Blended Latex
Innerspring


Question 2: Is there a scientific consensus on which is best for bones and sleep?


Question 3: How does a thrifty goon get the most bang for their buck?


Post any and all mattress related information, tips, pics, memes, and anecdotes in this thread!

Both memory foam and latex are going to feel weird having sex in if you've only ever had a spring mattress - it's more work because you don't get the spring back.

Noticed this immediately when I first switched to memory foam topper.

I bought a purple (the old model) and I think that I think it's good. I've had it for about 3 weeks, and it's pretty dang good. The problem is that I spend 3 nights of the week at my significant others place, and her mattress is crazy soft. The result is that I sleep on my side at her place and on my back at my place, but my body never gets quite used to either one before switching again. I am going to hold onto it for most of the 100 day trial and see whats up. I'm 5'11" ~175 and my partner has only slept on the mattress one with me. She didn't care for it and prefers much softer. I still have random spots muscle soreness because of the constant switching, and because my significant other wraps me like an octopus when she sleeps, which can cause my body to rest in weird positions.

I haven't noticed the indent problem of the dude above me.


Idk I think I like purple mattress, so I give it 5 \:shobon:/ 's out of 5.

I've been reading the thread, and I think I need a purple mattress in my life. Can anyone comment on the original vs. the new versions? My wife and I are side/stomach sleepers, and I'm mostly looking for something that sleeps cooler and is more supportive than our current 12 year old not-pocket-coil mattress. Does the new purple really have that much going for it over the original that it justifies the much higher price?

I’m a side sleeper and I have the regular purple. It’s not quite good enough for me. Gonna switch to the new purple.

I think the old/first generation purple is just about perfect for back sleepers.

I used to be a back sleeper but now I’m not. I keep trying to sleep on my back.

If I sleep on my side for a week then my shoulders hurt.

Update: after 9 months I think I don’t like the regular purple mattress as a side sleeper.

It’s a really good mattress for boning on though, maybe the best I’ve ever experienced.

I've read that mattresses like the Purple can be really warm at night, is there any truth to that? I'd love to just buy one like it on Amazon using Prime

I have a purple 1 and it doesn't run warm at all. in fact it's pleasantly cool
